KYNAR (R) 710 - PLT PVDF

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Odorless Clear Pellets HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICES. CAUTION! MELT PROCESSING MAY RELEASE VAPORS WHICH MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION

Potential health effects

Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. As a finished product, it is a synthetic, high molecular weight polymer. Due to its chemical and physical properties, this material does not require special handling other than the good industrial hygiene and safety practices employed with any industrial material of this type. Melt processing under normal conditions should not release hazardous fumes in significant amounts. However, if the melt temperature or shear become excessive, hazardous by-products can be released. (See section 10 for additional information). If degradation occurs due to high temperature (which may be caused by excessive shear) hazardous decomposition products will be emitted, which include hydrogen fluoride, and may include polymer fumes and oxides of carbon the concentrations of which may vary with processing time and temperatures.
